Category: Initial Thoughts

The latest game in the current trend of silly simulation experiences is one that is rooted in an familiar activity, and is actually a pretty fun experience.

I’ve taken some time to take a look at Warlocks Vs Shadows which is a really great looking 2D side-scrolling action RPG. I've taken quite the liking to it too.

Serpent in the Staglands is a pretty interesting looking CRPG that has recently released for Linux. It actually looks a bit like the old Baldur's Gate games, but plays out quite differently.

Heroes of Loot is a 2D dungeon crawler with twin stick like shooting, I've taken a little look so that you know what to expect.

The quest and resource based adventure RPGs were both officially released for Linux this week and the first one is currently available at a hefty discount.

The cute but challenging co-op gravity platformer is out of beta and is one worth a look if you have a friend to play with.

I was immediately interested in Convoy when I originally heard about it, but was sad when there was no Linux support. The good news is they now have a Linux test build available to the public.

Interloper is a small scale real time strategy that recently released for Linux, and it managed to capture my interest for being a bit different.

Victor Vran was released recently, and I gave it a small write up, but a major graphic bug stopped me from getting far. This was fixed incredibly quickly, and I've now sunk some time into it.

Spec Ops: The Line is one title I have been eagerly awaiting, and now that it’s available on Linux I took a look for you.

CO-OP : Decrypted recently added in Linux support to the rather good looking 2.5D platformer, so it’s time for an overdue look at it with some initial thoughts.

Invisible, Inc. has snuck out the door and is now available on your favourite operating system. I’ve been looking forward to this for some time, so I took a look.

Don't let the cute looks deceive you. Behind its innocent looking facade, Snakebird hides a fiendishly hard puzzle game that should give even the most seasoned puzzle veteran a proper challenge.

Dr. Spacezoo is a new discovery of mine thanks to twitter! It's a twin stick shooter with some very frantic gameplay, nice visuals and a great soundtrack.

The team-based free-to-play multiplayer game Rustbucket Rumble was released earlier in the week. It pits teams of three players against one another in chaotic and colorful fast-paced gameplay. After playing a couple of rounds, I have a few thoughts to share.

GOG have now added two classic Star Trek games to their collection with Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Star Trek Judgement Rites.

The developers of Prison Architect have sent word out that their game will fully launch in "Q4 2015". They have been on a big bug squashing run recently too.

Another survival game, but is it one I can actually get into? It’s another Early Access game, and I’ve taken a look.

Canabalt was originally released as a Flash game on the developer's website in 2009, and is the game that popularized the endless runner platformer sub genre. The game is now available on Steam for the first time, with a new engine and 8 new game modes.

Hero Siege is a good looking 2D hack 'n' slash RPG that recently released for Linux, I took a quick look so you know what to expect.
